This is so simple:
Change the screen to a capacitive touchscreen.
Faster processor and more ram.
Install Android cupcake.

Guys will you ever stop yearning for capacitive displays?!? If you compare both technologies, capacitive and resitive, you have to admit that resistive wins over capacitive. Why ?
1. I can use a stylus:no matter if my fingers are fatty and in countries like China styli are widely used --- 2. I can use the device with gloves on, especially now in winter this is useful (and don´t tell me Apple plans capacitive-friendly gloves, this is just stupid) --- 3. No chance of accidentially touching the screen on the wrong area.

And above all: Who REALLY needs this multi-touch thing? Compared to the iPhone´s the Diamond´s zoom-function is much more precise and one has also the Touch-Wheel as an alternative. And apart from the zoom-function I can´t remember any other useful implementation of multi-touch, it´s only a big huge marketing gag.

On improving the Diamond (I hit "add" too early before..):

1. Use the latest Marvell CPU, more RAM
2. Slightly bigger display (3.2") and battery (~1300mAh)
3. 3.5mm headphone jack
4. Micro-SD slot
5. Smaller front hardware buttons, better pressure point
6. And of course..Windows Mobile 6.5

Definitely no capacitive screen (as explained above), definitely keep Windows Mobile as platform (Android is OpenSource, Xda-Devs port it anyway).
